The Literary A-ha: Interview w/ Mark Kline
It's been cubbyholed for years at a time, but I always knew I would finish it. At times the story was in a form that can hardly be called a draft, it was more in pieces, lying around like a jigsaw puzzle.
The Landshark
“That me is far from what you know. That me is dead. There’s no comfort in this. And there’s the fear that this me you see, raging and electric, will be dead someday, too.”
The Epiphany 10: Interview w/ Jamel Brinkley
I’m interested in the way in which memory—the way that we think about the past—is a re-creation of the past, how the past keeps happening.
Music for Desks: That Pleasant Buzz at the Periphery
“Eno, who is credited with coining the term “ambient music,” suggested that it should, paradoxically, be inconspicuous and stimulating at the same time.”
A Stranger’s Hips, A Stranger’s Hands
“In my mind I played the image of him and the visual artist, their long limbs entangled, his hand on her throat, his eyes on her contorted face, his other hand kneading her heavy breasts.”
Opposite the Party
“Even as she thought it, she knew it was impossible to make everything overlap in a way that satisfied her.”
